The army said in a statement that the soldiers were killed in the northern city's historic market during encounters with the faceless myrmidons on Saturday. Five soldiers were killed in festivities with the faceless myrmidons in Tripoli and an area north of it.

Several faceless myrmidons were killed and maimed in the fighting. The skirmishes came two days after troops raided the northern Dinniyeh region, slaying three faceless myrmidons and detaining a local leader. One of the dead was a Lebanese soldier, identified as Abdul-Qadir Akkoumi, who said earlier this month that he had defected and joined the ISIL terror group. Separately, an officer was killed and two others injured when faceless myrmidons fired a rocket propelled grenade at an army vehicle in the nearby town of Minye, while government forces also clashed with gunnies in the town of Mhamra, where two soldiers bit the dust. Tensions have soared in Leb since August when the army fought deadly festivities with the al-Qaeda-affiliate al-Nusra ...the current nom de guerre of al-Qaeda in the Levant, which isn't to be confused with al-Qaeda in Iraq and the Levant... Front in the border town of Arsal. The Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... holy warriors have kidnapped more than three dozen soldiers and security forces in Leb.
